BUZZ Watch Party stars RADAR Transit 900 506 Michael Hemphill

BUZZ Watch Party stars RADAR Transit
All are invited to a free Watch Party on June 18, 2025, at 6:00 pm EDT to enjoy our newest BUZZ starring RADAR Transit (doors open at 5:30 pm).
About the episode, which airs June 25 on Blue Ridge PBS:
Since 1975 the nonprofit RADAR Transit has been providing the Roanoke Valley, Alleghany Highlands and other regions of Virginia with public transportation for folks who might otherwise be homebound due to disability or inability to own a vehicle.
But as it celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025, RADAR could use a marketing makeover — especially for its website. LeadPoint Digital provides just the buzz that RADAR needs.

BUZZ Live! stars New River Valley TimeBank

BUZZ Live! is spending time with the New River Valley TimeBank, a nonprofit that connects people to exchange skills and services, using time rather than dollars. When a member provides one hour of service for someone, they earn one Time Credit!

Join us May 3 as the TimeBank hosts its twice-a-year Repair Cafe at the Habitat for Humanity NRV ReStore in Christiansburg. You’ll meet the folks who donate their time at the Repair Cafe – offering free repairs for small furniture, sewing, jewelry, small appliances, and electronics, plus knife and tool sharpening. We’ll be broadcasting from the TimeBank’s “Public Living Room,” which provides a space for folks to sit and visit with neighbors … maybe even enjoy a cup of tea, some live music and Alistair the therapy dog!

Our hour-long free show starts at 12:00 pm and is open to all. It will also be live-streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels. Repair Cafe and Public Living Room are from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Register below to attend.
